Domainz Invoice PDFs
by Steve Withers 22 Jun '04

22 Jun '04

Just received a Domainz invoice e-mail with attached PDF file. Like last year, the PDF file is not readable in Acrobat or Ghostview. That took a few days to fix as I recall. I've sent it back and asked them to look into it. Others may see this. Steve

Changes to announcements to the APE and WIX route servers
by Andy Linton 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

When you're announcing to the list that you are making changes to your BGP announcements it would help if people would: 1) State which AS these announcements are coming from. This helps me double check I'm making changes to the right route objects. 2) State which routers the BGP sessions are on. This helps me double check I'm making changes to the right route objects. 3) Give a list of all the prefixes you want announced in CIDR format. I'm happy to see a mention of the changes as well but having the complete list means I can be sure it's right. Posting the Cisco prefix list doesn't really help me that much as tthe route servers don't get configured by me cutting and pasting. Others may have different requirements but this info would really help me. For example, something like: We've added the following block to our announcement to the APE route servers: 222.222.222.0/24 Our AS is 34567 and the complete list we're announcing from 192.203.154.150 is: 222.222.219.0/24 222.222.221.0/24 222.222.222.0/24 ---- You can check what we think your filter lists look like by going to: http://www.ape.net.nz/cgi-bin/ShowRoutes.cgi http://www.wix.net.nz/cgi-bin/ShowRoutes.cgi

Trademe route announcement to WIX route servers
by Andy Linton 20 Jun '04

20 Jun '04

The guys at Trademe (www.trademe.co.nz) have asked me to point out that they are now announcing their own network numbers via their own AS to the WIX route servers. They've discontinued use of all other numbers. The AS is: 24078 Their router is: 202.7.1.67 The network block is: 202.21.128.0/24 If you peer with the WIX route servers (and if you don't I'd encourage you to do so) and for some reason you're not allowing this network block through your BGP filters, I'd recommend that you do. Trademe move a whole heap of traffic and optimising your path to them would be 'a good thing'. If you're not connected to WIX then your path to them will be via your upstream ISP which in many cases will see your traffic head to Auckland before coming back down to Wellington.
